At the event, Vice-President of Sales – Americas, Kevin Walker, will be joined by Chief Commercial Officer, Cressida Sergeant. While at IPW, both Kevin and Cress are keen to meet event attendees who are looking for a software solution or who are interested in becoming integrated within the platform as a supplier.
IPW is widely recognised as one of the biggest travel trade events in America and is set to welcome more than 6200 industry professionals from over 70 countries. Analytics reveal that during the event more than 90,000 20-minute business appointments will take place, generating over $28 billion in total business transactions as a result.

In 2019, IPW will be held in the city of Anaheim, California, best known as the home to the renowned Disneyland resort. As a token nod to its roots, IPW will be holding the opening evening in the Disney theme park on Sunday 2nd June 2019.

Innovation in Cruise

Kevin Walker is particularly excited about this year’s event as it will be a key opportunity to promote Traveltek’s enhanced cruise software within the US market. “Traveltek’s strengthened platform provides a centralised, re-usable set of base components which are now used in all cruise builds,” said Walker.

“The product is highly configurable in display and functionality, allowing us to meet a broad range of customer needs and offers everything from comprehensive cruise line and ship descriptions to detailed cabin information and supporting images to bring the product to life. Condensing our cruise software builds into one base layer of components allows us to very easily maintain and improve the platform, bringing increased stability and security for our clients.”

Statistics suggest that over 14 million Americans will take a cruise in 2019 and is widely recognised as one of the fastest growing travel categories. With more and more consumers expecting the same ability to research and compare cruise experiences as they currently have when booking hotels or flights on the web, it’s clear that cruise distributors must be aware of this shift towards online platforms when researching cruise.

Year of Change

The past year has been a successful one for Traveltek.  We were named Europe’s Leading Travel Technology Provider for a second year running as well as scooping the title of World’s Leading Dynamic Packaging Solutions Provider for an impressive fifth year in a row.

Nevertheless, despite the accolades, we are still keen to grow and develop. As a result, in 2018, Traveltek appointed a new management board made up of prominent industry names.

This restructure brings with it a new focus for us, as travel software specialists. We’re now in the process of moving away from our origins as a bespoke “development house” to a more streamlined, software as a service (SaaS) model. This change will benefit both new and prospective clients with increased efficiencies and a much-improved core platform.

Product Roadmap

As part of this transition, in 2019, we’re investing heavily in our existing products as well as introducing a suite of innovative new solutions. These advanced tools are being developed in line with feedback received from our current clients, as well as findings unearthed following an in-depth market analysis undertaken by the Product Management Team. All of the projects will now be shown in Traveltek’s new Product Roadmap. This is a working document, which will be visible to all clients, outlining the upcoming activities for product development and enhancement.

Neil Welsh, Head of Sales for the EMEA region, said: “I had met with Eirad a few months prior to the show at their office in Jeddah. After investigating their business, I ran through a custom-built demo with them, highlighting what I thought was the best solution to meet their specific needs.

“As with most clients, I knew they were looking into other providers before making a final decision. So, I was delighted when they appeared on the stand at ATM and asked me to draw up a contract.

“They’re investing in our latest B2C website technology, which features our advanced booking engine and is hosted on out latest NX platform. Our CRM and back-office system, iBos, will also be integrated, giving Eirad a complete solution to manage their business. Recently upgraded with tech enhancements, iSell is more dynamic now that it’s ever been so this will really put Eirad ahead of their competition in Saudi.”

Neil continued: “The deal comes at a really exciting time for us as we’ve recently opened a new office in Dubai and have added two new members of staff to the sales team for the EMEA region. It’s a great project to get under our belts and for them to get involved in too and we’re really looking forward to developing what will hopefully be a long and fruitful partnership.”
